Our Parish Vision Notre Dame of Mount Carmel is a Roman Catholic
community of faith called to be missionary disciples of Jesus Christ, for the purpose of bringing about the
Kingdom.
Our Parish Mission Formed by the Word, fed at the Table, and inspired by the Holy Spirit, we INVITE, WELCOME and GUIDE each
other into relationship with Christ, to GO OUT and MAKE missionary disciples.
WISDOM
We consider wisdom today. The first reading from the book of Wisdom presents this precious gi as a feminine spirit, a very desirable virtue sought by many and graciously present to all who seek her. In today's Gospel, Jesus tells a parable to illustrate wisdom in a prac cal, measurable way. The wise will conserve their resources, use them prudently, and mark the passing of me. The foolish, on the other hand, not planning ahead, will be in the dark. Both of these readings tell us how accessible wisdom is to all who simply and honestly seek it.
Paul's words to the Thessalonians are not about wisdom, but describe one result of true wisdom: To the wise person of faith even death holds no terror. Our faith in Jesus' resurrec on tells us we will all one day rise to new life in Christ.

You will be joining other teens who are searching to develop a deeper understanding of their faith and what it means to be a Christian in today’s world.
Our Antioch theme is, “With God, all things are possible” (Mt 19:26). The retreat affords teens the opportunity to stop, step back, and take a look at where they have been and, hopefully, where they are going. Antioch helps us to look at our faith and see the possibilities.
The retreat will take place here at Notre Dame, Friday—Sunday, December 15, 16 & 17, 2017. Register online at www.ndcarmel.com. Registration closes Sunday, November 19. Please register now to ensure a space on this special weekend!
RACHEL’S VINEYARD: HEALING AFTER ABORTION
“I have been through 14 years of confession, therapy and anti-depressants. Just when I could take the pain no longer, I found
Rachel’s Vineyard that literally saved my life.”
Every year men & women suffer the after-effects of abortion. Rachel’s Vineyard weekends are a beautiful opportunity for any person who has struggled with the emotional or spiritual pain of abortion. Participants often surface and release repressed feelings of anger, shame, guilt, and grief. Many of the group facilitators have suffered a similar loss. The weekend is a chance to get away from daily life to focus on the buried emotions of the past and begin healing through a supportive trauma-sensitive process. The retreat provides a non-judgmental, safe environment to help your soul find a voice, and transform the pain of the past into hope and love. Make a confidential call to 1-877-467-3463.
DISCERNMENT WEEKEND FOR YOUNG ADULTS AT GRAYMOOR
How is God calling you? The Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Atonement are offering a Discernment Weekend December 1-3 to help you discover the answer. This weekend is for
single, Catholic young adult men and women, 18-40, considering how to best answer God’s call, whether that is as a religiously vowed (priest, sister or brother), married or single person. Key talks include Biblical Foundations of Call, Theology of Being Called, and Practical Tools for Discernment. The weekend includes small group time, rich prayer experiences, and free time to reflect and pray while enjoying the beautiful setting of Graymoor along the Appalachian Trail. For more information or to register, visit www.atonementfriars.org/discern or contact Paul Krenzelok at 845-424-2122 or [email protected].

Missionary Discipleship...
the opportunity for them to grow their relationship with Jesus.”
A step in that direc on was recently taken, when our Altar Server families were invited to a Jets game. While several families were unfortunately not able to a end, it was a wonderful start in providing some rela onship‐building opportuni es and offer the kids an awesome treat!
“They were allowed to go on the field at half time and had a wonderful
time. It was a great bonding experience for the children, and the parents. In the works are a bowling night, pizza and a movie, perhaps a
Devil’s game and many more opportunities in the coming year!”
We invite families with children in 4th grade and above, to consider being part of this ministry, and to allow the work of the Holy Spirit to take root in the faith life of your family.
For more informa on or to get started, please contact Melissa at [email protected].
If you’ve had the benefit of knowing Steven or many of our servers who have been a part of this ministry for several years, it is evident to see the posi ve impact it has had on their faith and their character in general. Even when not knowing them personally, just watching them serve from afar can be a strong witness to anyone us. Asking Steven why he is part of this ministry he will tell you:
“It’s given me a reason to want to go to church. I look forward to
going every week now… I like most, being there and
understanding why everything happens. I also like serving with
the Bishop.”
As valuable as Altar Serving is to the celebra on of our liturgies and to the personal journey of our servers, it is challenging to bring our youth into this par cular area of ministry. Melissa is hoping to lead the ministry from maintenance to mission:
“It’s important for me to build up our
Altar Server community, and it truly begins with helping them feel like
they belong. We hope to offer more fun, family bonding experiences both here and outside of the church for the kids and their families, while at the same time provide
W hen we held our Ministry Convoca ons earlier in the year, we dove a bit deeper into discipleship and how our renewed mission and vision calls us to evaluate how we “do ministry.” We know at the heart of it all is the desire to serve others and through that service, bring Christ’s love into their lives. But what about those who are serving? Where are they in terms of their own faith journey in discipleship?
In our call to serve others and “deliver” on our ministries, we are challenged to give due priority to those providing the service. Unless there is frui ulness within our ministries, it will be very difficult for them to thrive (go beyond maintenance to mission) and to bear fruit (make disciples).
Our Altar Server Ministry is taking on the task with great passion and enthusiasm. Ministry Chair (and Parish Secretary) Melissa Demianycz felt called to take on the challenge…
“I have always loved working with the kids and I love watching them up on the
altar. They have a look of accomplishment on their faces
during and after Mass that makes me beam with pride. I
think our youth are an integral part of our Church. I want
them and their families to feel at home here at Notre Dame,
especially when they are serving in our ministry.”
Melissa’s son Steven began serving at Mass when he was 11. Now at 15, Steven is a senior server and is a great leader, providing guidance and accompanying many of our new servers and/or those needing just a bit more encouragement and building up their confidence.
